The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Thread

Do the new Alfa's have the same drive and feel as the 1980's Alfa's?
I had a Giulietta and loved it but sold it for the first VW Jumbo GTI in SA, bought from the MD of VWSA which was about 6mths before they were launched in SA.
 
That looks bad from the front. I'll stick with my MY2013 Giulietta QV thanks. Interesting to note that neither of those cars are carrying the clover leaf symbol, yet they're kitted out in the QV trim (side skirts, and dual exhaust tips).

I had a Giulietta QV, sad to see its now gone. Or maybe still to come?

Clearly Alfa have reserved Quadrofoglio for AMG/M competing models going forward
 
Alfa Romeo Mito and Giulietta unlikely to be renewed

Replacing the two smallest Alfa models isn't a priority, says boss Reid Bigland

The Alfa Romeo Mito and Giulietta are unlikely to spawn direct replacements and are "not at the same level as the Giulia and Stelvio", according to Alfa boss Reid Bigland.

Speaking at the Geneva motor show, Bigland said the Giulietta and Mito would "stay for the foreseeable future", but new Alfas would be like the Giulia and Stelvio and "put the driver at the centre", in line with the firm's new strategy.

"They are very good cars but not at the same level as the Giulia and Stelvio," he said.

Bigland said that decisions on future Alfas would be taken on their global appeal above all else, and the Mito and Giulietta were very Europe-focused models.

"I have nothing to announce on this, but our lens will be less Europe and more the entire globe. The European market will be a consideration, but we'll take quite strongly Asia and North America [into consideration too]. In China and North America, the compact segments are small segments [for sales]."

To that end, Bigland said the next Alfa model would most likely be an SUV, sized immediately above or immediately below the Stelvio. He said the decision to launch future Alfas would be taken purely on the basis of the size of the global segment in which it would compete.

The biggest two global segments for premium cars is now served by the Giulia and Stelvio for Alfa, but there is debate on what size of SUV makes up the third most popular segment. That's why no decision has been taken on whether to go bigger or smaller than the Stelvio next.

The promise of six new Alfas had "slipped a little bit", said Bigland, who didn't confirm any new targets.

Alfa Romeo will discontinue Giulietta and MiTo

Head of Alfa Romeo and Maserati; Reid Bigland has told Autocar that the Giulietta and MiTo will not be replaced by newer models when their respective life-cycles come to an end. The reason for this is because these two cars do not reflect Alfa Romeo’s current philosophy.

“They are very good cars but not at the same level as the Giulia and Stelvio.” Bigland told the British publication. He believes that these two cars were good in their own right, but were too focused on the European market.

Bigland would like Alfa Romeo to have more of a global presence instead and to do this the brand would have to focus less on the compact segment as it is no longer a big market in terms of sales, especially in Asia and North America.

With that being said, Bigland anticipates the next Alfa Romeo to be another SUV which will slot either above or below the Stelvio. He also suggested that the Alfa Romeo line up intends to consist of six cars; the segments of which are top secret.

Slight, but noticeable changes. Granted, this isn't the top-spec model.

Exterior, front:

  • Looks like there is a lot more grill, than before.
  • The V on the front, does not have the horizontal bars anymore.

Exterior, back:

  • Only change I can see is that the model name, is now set on the right, and is in block letters as opposed to the centre-set cursive style.

Interior:

  • Steering wheel has changed slightly.
  • The badge is silver/black as opposed to the regular AR colours.
  • The facia board where the radio sits does not look like glossy brushed aluminium.
  • The radio has changed.
  • I do not see toggle switches for the fogs lights and the door locks by the radio.

The angle of the interior picture, makes it difficult to see the driver's side foot well. The previous models, the RHD versions had significantly less room in the driver's side foot well. It results in your left leg rubbing up against the centre console, and not having a spot for your left foot in the manual versions.

Nice one. You have a keen eye

Still a fan of the G even though it's days are numbered & no replacement in sight.
